10 années d'exploration graphique au CACC Clamart

Between 2013 and 2023, under the direction of Madeleine Mathé, an ambitious graphic project was developed at the Center d'art contemporain Chanot, in Clamart in the suburbs of Paris. 

 On this occasion, six graphic designers or workshops took turns to imagine each year, then every three years, a new visual identity for the Center d'art contemporain Chanot: Côme de Bouchony, Fanette Mellier, Syndicat, Müesli, Atelier Tout va bien then Stereo Buro (whose project could not be realized in the end). 

Gradually a heterogeneous identity develops, but it is interesting to see a motif return to each of these proposals, which are now a collection: the glass front that embodies the entrance to the CACC. Emblematic of the architectures of the 1980s, it is indeed a characteristic sign of the structure, but also a very interesting sign to explore in terms of graphic composition, with the grid generated by the set of windows. 

 CACC has also initiated a typographic project, the Clamatica, the first typeface created collectively and 100% made in Clamart: an ambitious and original project designed by the CACC and the graphic designer Thibaut Robin with the inhabitants of Clamart. To bring this typography to life, after three years of cultural action, commissions for exhibition posters using Clamatica were proposed to international graphic designers.
